For best results, use bananas that are very ripe, almost black. They will have the most intense flavor and sweetness. To prevent the cake from sticking, you can line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper in addition to greasing and flouring it. Feel free to add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans) or chocolate chips to the batter for added texture and flavor. The cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
